GEO hosts ‘work-in’ in public, may strike BY CHRIS SIMON CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The Graduate Employees’ Organization and Champaign Federation of Teachers joined forces Monday to raise awareness about their ongoing contract negotiations. The two unions gathered at Panera Bread, 1765 W. Kirby Ave., to stage a “work-in,” where they did their outside-of-classroom work in a public setting to bring attention to what they call unpaid work. “Grading papers, writing letters of support for my students so they can get into graduate school, lesson planning, all the reading — a lot of times you do that at home,” said Stephanie Seawell, graduate student and GEO spokeswoman. “And so the public doesn’t see that work that we do.” Seawell said the public needs to know the unions care a lot about quality public education. She said the University administration needs to stop stalling on the GEO’s contract negotiations. Ingbert Schmidt, member of the bargaining team and of the GEO, said the most important contract component the two sides have agreed on so far is harassment protection, but other impor-

NCSA celebrates new supercomputer BY MADDIE REHAYEM STAFF WRITER

As Blue Waters, a supercomputer on campus able to calculate in the quadrillions, undergoes fi nal testing, Petascale Day was held on Monday to help the public put those number into perspective. The event was put on by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications which operates Blue Waters, and planned for Oct. 15 because 1 quadrillion equals 10 to the 15th power. The NCSA held events throughout the day at its building to educate the campus community about a petascale computer’s capabilities. Events included film screenings, lectures and demonstrations. The NCSA also tweeted throughout the day, many times defi ning a quadrillion through various comparisons

to help the public understand the size of the number. One main event was a tour of the National Petascale Computing Facility where members of the public could receive information about the computer. “Our tours of Blue Waters help put in perspective just how grand the supercomputer is, how large it is (and) how it feels to be around it,” said NCSA spokesperson Liz Murray. “There’s defi nitely an energy and a presence to it.” Murray said the supercomputer is still in testing phases, so researchers have not had full access to it yet. Research scientist Brian Jewett works in the University’s atmospheric science department and will use the supercomputer once it’s ready. He said Blue Waters is going to make

detailed analysis possible, and “big data,” from Blue Waters will help him better explain tornado behavior and improve tornado forecasting. “We are trying to take conditions associated with a long-lived tornado ... and we’re going to try to run it at ten times the resolution than we ever have before,” Jewett said in a lecture he gave for Petascale Day. “When you have higher resolution, you can actually capture those small scale features (of tornados).” Other Petascale Day events included fi lm screenings and 3-D scientific visualizations by NCSA’s Advanced Visualization Laboratory, which aids researchers with simulations and helps them examine data with more detail.

The Senate Executive Committee is opposing a potential statewide change that would limit the University’s ability to classify employees as civil service workers or academic professionals. The SEC approved a statement Monday against the potential loss of exemption authority. According to the statement, the State Universities Civil Service System is considering adding an amendment to its administrative code that removes exemption authority from state universities. The changes would need to be made by the SUCSS Merit Board, which is made up of 11 trustees from state colleges in Illinois, three of them from the University. The statement said the University needs to maintain the ability to exempt employees from civil service status.

“Key decisions such as which positions to exempt should not be determined by a centralized agency but by the skilled, experienced human resources professionals who work at the University,” according to the committee’s statement. Last week, the Urbana-Champaign Senate endorsed a statement from the Council of Academic Professionals against the removal of exemption authority, an endorsement the SEC said “reinforced concerns that losing flexibility in hiring academic professionals would severely inhibit the teaching, research and service functions of the university.” Nicholas Burbules, SEC member and chair of the General University Policy Committee, said the committee made its own statement on behalf of faculty members to strengthen the committee’s stance on the issue.

Danville community college, UI partner in admissions program BY JANELLE O’DEA CONTRIBUTING WRITER

A new program that will give Danville Area Community College students a path to the University. Though no one has applied yet, once they do, University advising staff are prepared to make visits to Danville. The program, Danville Area Community College Pathway to Illinois, was finalized Aug. 31. Stephane Potts, transfer coordinator at the college, said the program makes coming to the University easier because students can meet with University advisers before registering for classes. Advising staff will make visits to Danville twice a semester to help students choose classes with credit

transferable to the University. University admissions staff may also visit the college based on the needs of students in the program. Potts said this new program has more flexibility than existing programs, such as Parkland Pathway to Illinois at Parkland College. Unlike Parkland Pathway to Illinois, DACC Pathway to Illinois students don’t have to know right away whether they will enroll at the University. “We certainly hope they apply here as a transfer student, but if plans change, plans change,” said Kristin Smigielski, assistant direc-

A view of the partially sunk Costa Concordia wreckage next to the Giglio Island, Italy, on Sunday. The first hearing of the trial for the Jan. 13, 2012, tragedy, where 32 people died after the luxury cruise Costa Concordia was forced to evacuate some 4,200 passengers after it hit a rock while passing too close to the Giglio Island, is taking place in Grossetoon Monday. Captain Schettino, who was blamed for both the accident and for leaving the ship before the passengers, is scheduled to attend the hearing.

Survivors, families go to hearing of captain of shipwrecked cruise ship BY FRANCES D’EMILIO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

GROSSETO, Italy — A theater in Italy turned into a courtroom Monday, providing extra space for all those who needed to hear the evidence against the captain of a shipwrecked cruise ship. The case of Francesco Schettino, 51, has generated such interest that the Tuscan city of Grosseto chose the larger space to accommodate all those who had a legitimate claim to be at the closeddoor hearing. Thirty-two people died after Schettino, in a stunt, took the Costa Concordia cruise ship off course and brought it close to the Tuscan island of Giglio on Jan 13. The ship then ran aground and capsized. Schettino himself became a lightning rod for international disdain for having left the ship before everyone was evacuated. Schettino appeared at the hearing Monday, as did passengers who survived the deadly shipwreck, the families of those who died in it and scores of lawyers trying to get more compensation for them. “We want to look him in the eye to see how he will react to the accusations,” said German survivor Michael Liessen, 50, who attended with his wife. Another survivor said he even talked with Schettino.

“When he looked at me, I told him I was on board the Costa Concordia. He stood up and we shook hands, as it is normal between two polite people,” Luciano Castro, 48, who has published a book in Italy about the disaster, told The Associated Press. “I told him I hoped the truth would come out soon. In that moment, he replied, ‘Yes, it must be established.’” Castro added that Schettino appeared to be “very embarrassed. He was very cautious, probably not expecting that somebody would approach him.” Wearing dark glasses and a suit, Schettino used a back entrance to slip into the theater, making no comment to reporters outside. Lawyers said he listened intently to the proceedings, where his attorneys raised some objections to the evidence being submitted against Schettino and eight others accused in the shipwreck, including crew members and officials from Concordia owner Costa Crociere SpA. Nevertheless, one member of Schettino’s defense team, Francesco Pepe, seemed confident, saying during a break that “responsibilities that aren’t all Schettino’s are beginning to emerge.” Hearings this week through Wednesday will help decide whether the judge will order a trial for Schettino, who is accused of manslaughter, causing the shipwreck and abandoning ship while passengers and crew were still aboard. He denies the

accusations and hasn’t been charged. Any trial is unlikely to begin before next year. Off the Tuscan coast and just outside Giglio’s port, the hulk of the Concordia still lies on its side, resting on a rocky seabed ledge, the object of gawkers and a painful symbol of the disaster for islanders and survivors. Experts are carrying out a complicated salvage plan to get the 1,000-foot-long vessel upright so it can be towed to the mainland. A key question is how much of the blame should Schettino bear alone and how much responsibility for the disaster lies with his crew and employer, Costa Crociere, a division of the Miami-based Carnival Corp. Costa Crociere has denied that it was negligent and has distanced itself from Schettino, firing him in July although he is fighting to get his job back. Last month, court-appointed experts delivered a 270-page report of what went wrong that night based on an analysis of data recorders, ship communications equipment, testimony and other evidence. The experts, who included two admirals and two engineers, laid most of the blame for the collision with the reef and the botched evacuation on Schettino. But they also noted that not all crew members understood Italian, not all had current safety and evacuation certifications, and not all passengers had had the chance to participate in evacuation drills.

California Science Center is now home to space shuttle BY ALICIA CHANG AND CHRISTOPHER WEBER

tor of the University’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions. DACC students also are not required to decide on a major upon applying. With DACC Pathway to Illinois, however, students can only take classes at DACC until officially transferring, unlike with Parkland Pathway to Illinois. Parkland Pathway students can take up to five hours at the University while taking general education requirements on the Parkland campus. For those hours, Parkland Pathway students pay tuition to the University price matched to Parkland College tuition. Parkland students are offered an i-card and the option to live in University certified housing. However, other services enjoyed by University students, such as access to CRCE and the ARC, cost extra for students in the Pathway program. Smigielski said the only reason DACC Pathway to Illinois students do not receive the same benefits as Parkland Pathway to Illinois students “simply because of location.” She said the University is open to creating similar Pathway programs with other community colleges in the area. DACC already has similar programs, called “2 + 2” programs, with other universities. DACC has these programs with Eastern Illinois University, Illinois State University and Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, along with other universities and nursing colleges.

SEC FROM PAGE 1A Burbules said University human resources professionals already have sufficient hiring and retention strategies. He said removing exemption authority will only slow down the hiring process. “The ability to hire people quickly and flexibly is an important part of doing our business as a research institution,” Burbules said. “Removing the authority entirely from the campus ... is an overreaction that would significantly impede our ability to perform our mission.” That statement was approved at the SEC meeting Monday, where Chancellor Phyllis Wise also presented her results from last year’s Listening and Learning Tour. Wise said the most common issues found throughout the tour were categorized in six topics: energy and the environment, social equality and cultural understanding, economic development, education, health and wellness, and information and technology. For each category, Wise said her plan is to gather groups of about 30 faculty members and administrators. Each committee will discuss how to implement and execute long-term and short-term goals regarding these issues. Brock Gebhardt, student body president, said he agreed with Wise’s plans but recommended adding students to these committees as well. “Students would definitely be a benefit to the committees, if nothing else, bringing new ideas or asking questions that might provoke some good discussion,” Gebhardt said. Wise said she would consider his recommendation and look into appointing staff members to the committees. Burbules said the goals determined by the tour are not campus-specific but affect the rest of the world. “Let’s make this clear, to the external audience as well, that the University of Illinois addresses these fundamental substantial concerns of the state, of the country, of the world, and that we’re actually doing specific things to address them,” Burbules said. “These are the basic challenges based in humanity, and we’re engaging those directly and seriously as an institution.”

LOS ANGELES — Space shuttle Endeavour was fi nally lodged at its retirement home Monday following a slow weekend parade through city streets that turned out to be a logistical headache. After a 12-mile weave past trees and utility poles that included thousands of adoring onlookers, fl ashing cameras and even the fi lming of a TV commercial, Endeavour arrived at the California Science Center Sunday — about 17 hours behind schedule. “It’s just a crazy thing that we did but we pulled it off,” said Kenneth Philips, curator of aerospace science at the museum. Movers had planned a slow trip, saying the shuttle that once orbited at more than 17,000 mph would move at just 2 mph in its fi nal voyage through Inglewood and southern Los Angeles. But that estimate turned out to be generous, with Endeavour often creeping along at a barely detectable pace when it wasn’t at a dead stop due to difficult-to-maneuver obstacles like tree branches and light posts. Despite the holdups, the team charged with transporting the shuttle felt a “great sense of accomplishment” when it made it onto the muse-

Fungal meningitis cases to increase in Ill., doctor says ALEX GALLARDO THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The space shuttle Endeavour moves on Bill Robertson Lane in front of the Coliseum in Los Angeles on Sunday. In thousands of Earth orbits, the space shuttle traveled 123 million miles. Endeavour’s 12-mile crawl across Los Angeles to the California Science Museum hit repeated delays Saturday, leaving expectant crowds dwindling. um grounds, said Jim Hennessy, a spokesman for Sarens, the contract mover. “It’s historic and will be a great memory,” he said. “Not too many people will be able to match that — to say, ‘We moved the space shuttle through the streets of Inglewood and Los Angeles.’” Transporting Endeavour cross-town was a costly feat with an estimated price tag of $10 million, to be paid for by the science center and private donations. Late Friday, crews spent hours transferring the shuttle to a special, lighter towing dolly for

its trip over Interstate 405. The dolly was pulled across the Manchester Boulevard bridge by a Toyota Tundra pickup, and the car company fi lmed the event for a commercial after paying for a permit, turning the entire scene into a movie set complete with special lighting, sound and staging. Some 400 trees had been removed along the route, but officials said most of the trees that gave them trouble could not be cut down because they were old or treasured for other reasons, including some planted in honor of Martin Luther King Jr.

BY CARLA K. JOHNSON THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CHICAGO — A Chicago doctor who has done spinal taps on two patients to rule out fungal meningitis said Monday that he expects to see more cases of the illness in Illinois as testing continues. Dr. Rahul Khare, an emergency physician for Northwestern Medicine, said the patients he tested were frightened, but the tests showed nothing abnormal. The patients had received back injections of a possibly tainted steroid from a Massachusetts pharmacy that’s been linked to an outbreak of deadly meningitis. They had symptoms that could indicate the illness. It’s confusing and frightening for patients, he said, because their back and neck pain, for which they were getting the steroid shots in the first place, can mimic symptoms of meningitis.

Landowners seek fair prices for land seized for US-Mexico border fence BY PAUL J. WEBER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BROWNSVILLE, Texas — When the federal government began seizing private land along the U.S.-Mexico border to build a towering fence, Teofilo Flores was offered $1,650 for a slice of his backyard. At first, it seemed like a square deal. But then the cotton grower learned that his neighbor had received 40 times more for a similar piece of land. And another nearby farmer pocketed $1 million in exchange for his cooperation. Since 2008, hundreds of landowners on the border have sought fair prices for property that was condemned to make way for the fence. But many of them received

initial offers that were far below market value. And dozens accepted those amounts without seeking any legal help, only to discover neighbors had won far larger settlements after hiring attorneys. “You get angry. But that’s the way of life, I guess,” Flores said of the bigger payouts won by other landowners. “You know, people that got more money can afford to do more things.” The disparities raise questions about the Justice Department’s treatment of hundreds of landowners from Texas to California who couldn’t afford lawyers and must now live with a massive steel barrier running through their farms, ranches and yards. The wide variation in price

“underscores how unfair these original offers were,” said attorney Corinna Spencer-Scheurich, who represented poor and middle-class landowners when the seizures began. The federal government “is using its power, its clout, to try to take land from people at a price that is unfair. I think that is clear based on the settlements,” she said. Federal attorneys say the initial offers represented only a starting amount that would permit the seizures to begin and could be adjusted later. In 2006, Congress ordered construction of 670 miles of heavy metal fence to help curb illegal immigration.

University needs to focus on giving its graduate employees proper contracts before another strike

SARAH FISCHER Opinions columnist

hough the University can find the money each year for plump salaries for its administrators, somehow it can’t put in place the proper system to renegotiate contracts with its graduate employees, let alone do it in a timely matter. And now, two months after the expiration of the last contract, the threat of another strike looms. In 2009, roughly 1,000 members of the Graduate Employees’ Organization went on strike for two days because the union and administration were unable to reach an agreement regarding explicit tuition waiver protection for graduate student employees — something that keeps graduate students focused on their work without having to dedicate more time to a second job simply to make ends meet. The strike was among the largest in the country that year. The GEO eventually won the contract language necessary to protect the waivers, but less than a year later, tuition waivers were again in question for graduate employees from out-of-state. Luckily, an independent arbiter ruled in favor of the GEO, protecting the rights for all graduate assistants. Representatives from the GEO, which is again fighting to have its contract renewed, have optimistically told The Daily Illini that the slow speed at which the University is handling the negotiation is due to poor communication between union leaders and the administration. More realistically, the University is complacent about its graduate students’ employment, never mind that without them, this University would not be able to function at the capacity it does now. At that, with the brain drain this campus now experiences — with more faculty leaving than can be replaced effectively — the value of the graduate student workers is all the more important. But even if the University were to suddenly give these workers the time of day they deserve, they would be meeting to discuss minimal standards that the GEO expects. Namely, that the members of the GEO want to be able to eat and pay their rent, which is not an inconceivable demand. The University needs to see graduate employees as people, not just numbers. These are people that have put their lives on hold in pursuit of higher education — many are adults that might not be able to depend on money from their parents, grandparents or other family members for support. Furthermore, taking out more loans just isn’t an option for others, as they already have tens of thousands of dollars in student loan debt from their undergraduate education. Frankly, the GEO is being awfully understanding to this campus by waiting this long to consider a strike. In reality, the paperwork for a strike should have been filed Aug. 16, the day when the 2009 contract expired and when there was no new proposal or any productive communication between the University and the union. Truthfully, the current demands and expectations of the GEO sit far below any standard they deserve. Tuition waivers in higher education should be a given, especially at a research university like this one. To expect that this University can maintain its high quality while its workers are struggling to provide food for themselves, and sometimes their families, is an irresponsible oversight. But it seems that the only way that the University will reasonably listen to any talk of tuition waiver protection is when a strike looms on the horizon. If that’s the case, then we hope the GEO goes on strike. Better yet, we expect that the University will come to the table and sign an agreement that affords its bright graduate students exactly what they deserve: a speedy contract agreement including tuition waiver protection and a reliable system for renegotiation in the future. Time is ticking.

nation was conceived, Christianity was the dominant ideology because it sneaks its way briefly into some of the texts written by the founding fathers. However the founders did not want the country to have a national religion and wanted tolerance for all beliefs. This does not mean we should use Christianity to write our laws. The Republican sentiment against gay marriage comes from biblical texts, like Leviticus in the King James version, which prohibits lying “with mankind, as with womankind.” A good portion of the United States does not believe in the Bible. The religious right makes the argument that homosexuality is a choice, but if homosexual behavior is displayed at the animalistic level, as seen in countless research studies, then it is not a choice. People don’t wake up one day and decide to be gay. As the younger Republican generation is accepting of different marital beliefs, it gravitates toward candidates like Ron Paul who respect civil liberties to an extent not seen in mainstream Republican platforms. In the Republican primary Ron Paul took almost half of the 18-29 demographic in a handful of states, so there is a growing sentiment in young Republicans to move away from the archaic ways of the religious right. My hope is that the Republican Party will eventually shed its dependence of the religious right and return to its roots, protecting the country’s liberties.

hether you agree with Romney’s critiques of PBS and NPR or think they missed the larger issue, it is difficult not to revolt against President Barack Obama’s recently released ad consuming national airtime. It lists the Wall Street Infamous, then states “the evil genius who towered over them” was Big Bird. “Big, yellow, a menace to our economy,” pitches the ad. The newest attack ad aimed at Mitt Romney exemplifies much that is wrong in the current political campaign system. Big Bird is not the menace to society the ad facetiously claims. Romney is not claiming that he is. Romney’s now famous comments regarding the bird discuss his opinion on the federal subsidy of PBS. The Big Bird ad only serves to take Romney’s comments out of context. It undercuts the president’s professionalism. And worse, it makes no comment. There is no connection between Wall Street and Sesame Street. Instead of spending campaign resources producing ads that ask for clarification on Romney’s economic policy or his stance on abortion, the Obama campaign runs this. All the time. PBS accounts for 0.012 percent of the entire federal budget. The budget is the issue. The deficit is the issue. And while Obama’s intention is surely to comment on Romney’s fiscal sense, all the ad serves to do is detract from the issues Americans care about: health care, women’s rights, job availability, economic growth and sustainability. Since the merging of television and politics, negative ads have become a national pastime. As early as 1952, negative attacks ruled the political sphere. While some have argued that Obama’s campaign has run the most negative attack ads in history, he falls behind both John McCain and, surprisingly, Dwight Eisenhower, who ran negative content in 69 percent of his ads. And there were no super PACs in 1956. During the 1960 race between John F. Kennedy and then-Vice President Richard Nixon, Kennedy ran an ad in which incumbent president Eisenhower failed to think of a single idea Nixon contributed. The ad effectively challenged Nixon’s claim that he had “actually made decisions in the White House.” One of the more famous attack ads was the “Daisy ad” run by Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964, the first election season to completely embrace the negative ad. The genius of Johnson’s ad, which only ran once, was that it never mentioned his opponent, Barry Goldwater, by name, but instead insinuated through the ad that a vote for Goldwater was a vote for nuclear destruction of the planet. George H. W. Bush’s “Willie Horton” attack ad against Michael Dukakis proved to be one of the most effective negative ads. Claiming to draw attention to the candidates’ different ideas about the death penalty, the ad connected Dukakis, who supported “weekend passes from prison,” to Willie Horton, an inmate sentenced to life who murdered a young man on one of his “weekend passes.” Sadly this type of rhetoric is not contained to our national politics. The Senate race between Republican Jeff Flake and Democrat Richard Carmona spits personal ads about mental health back and forth, shrinking Flake’s early lead into a competitive race. The Senate race in Montana between Democratic Sen. Jon Tester and Republican challenger Dennis Rehberg has focused on a boat crash in which alcohol may have been involved. A debate between Reps. Howard L. Berman and Brad Sherman, two Democrats fighting for the San Fernando Valley congressional district, nearly turned physical. What might be most depressing about this scenario is not that it is increasingly common, but that the crowd cheered on the pugilistic politicians. All these ads do is create a terrified and uniformed electorate. None of this is to say that informational content should be the only factor in political rhetoric or when considering a candidate. Yes, we want politicians who look presidential, who look like leaders. Yes, we want them to be steadfast in their opinions. Yes, we want to know that they fight for themselves and for what they believe. We want to know they have a team of competent individuals around them, helping them to make the correct decisions for our nation. But at what cost? And to whose detriment? In his book “Up, Simba!” David Foster Wallace writes, “If you are bored and disgusted by politics and don’t bother to vote, you are in effect voting for the entrenched Establishments of the two major parties, who please rest assured are not dumb, and who are keenly aware that it is in their interests to keep you disgusted and bored and cynical.” When the political discourse in our country focuses on sensationalism rather than knowledge, we are left with a populous that doesn’t know the facts — and a legislature that seems content to keep it that way.

Raise your glass to the great American pastime: Beer RENÉE WUNDERLICH Opinions columnist

ew things short of sex scandals, chocolate and Honey Boo Boo grab hold of general interest like alcohol, and for this I am pleasantly amused. Beer is European by heritage, American by attitude, and has been enjoying a recent upswing in public favor. The same can’t always be said for President Obama. And beer, unlike Romney’s candidacy, is something nearly everyone can relate to. So with the end of Oktoberfest, onslaught of election season and the general progression of my senior year, it’s time for this columnist to think a bit about beer. Even those (like me) who don’t particularly enjoy the taste can still appreciate that beer and its brewing is part of our history — just ask the Discovery Channel. This September, they launched “How Booze Built America.” TV personality Mike Rowe hosted the three-part series that liked pilgrims to Pilsners (OK, so historians say it was ale, not pale lager) and, according to Rowe’s DIY Promo, “more than mere gratuitous drinking.” After seven years of wading through sewage on the show Dirty Jobs and countless corny Viva paper towel commercials, I say the man deserves a drink. And though the fine folks at Discovery tell us beer drinking is just as American as baseball and bipartisan filibusters, the truth of the matter is that very few domestics are truly made in the USA. Budweiser originated in America but is owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev, which is headquartered in Belgium and has factories all over

the world. Molson Coors Brewing Company, the world’s fifth largest brewing company and proud producer of this University’s covetedly-cheap Keystone Light, is headquartered in Colorado, but is actually Canadian. What’s more, Coors Brewing Co. (the regional division of Molson Coors and the third largest brewer of beer in the US) is in a joint venture with SAB Miller (makers of Miller Lite), which is headquarted in London, England and bases many of its facilities in South Africa, Asia and Bavaria. And you thought outsourcing stopped at car manufacturers and telecommunication hotlines. Now there is nothing wrong with a little globalization for the greater good of a better beer. But if your goal is to show some national pride as you raise your glass (or for most reading this, your red Solo cup), be wary that not all “Proudly American” beers are purebred domestic. Hipsters rejoice; Pabst Blue Ribbon is based in L.A. and the company has no plans to move outside the country any time soon. But while PBR breweries are located within the U.S., Miller Brewing Co. owns them all. This leaves us with local brewing companies. Those familyrun, passion-driven and obscurely named brands that show up on the “Make Your Own 6-Pack” rack in the liquor section of select grocery stores. If you’re intimidated by the vast and random selection of local micro-brews (or are not of age) but still want to support local beer, you do have other options. Central Illinois houses what could have been downtown Champaign’s best-kept secret if I didn’t tell so many people about the mind-blowing beer-battered asparagus appetizer. Destihl is a Brewery and a restaurant — excuse me, “Gastro Brewpub,”

which basically means they put the beer they make into the food they serve. But if you’re a traditionalist and prefer to stick with drinking your beer instead of eating it, there is a niche market for your kind as well. The Blind Pig Brewery is an old mainstay for townies, grad students and the occasional undergraduate whose tastes grew too refined for Firehaus fishbowls. Not to be confused with The Blind Pig Company, the Brewery is, as the name suggests, where the patrons have the physical machinery to brew hard ciders and a rotating variety of hops-based beers. The Blind Pig’s namesake is based on its history; it’s the first all-grain brewery in Champaign since those folks in Washington quit kidding themselves and repealed prohibition. Even the term “blind pig,” synonymous with the more popular “speakeasy,” is infused with Americana. So why should those of us who do partake in this nation’s imbibe-able pastime buy local? Think of it as your civic duty. Thomas Jefferson reportedly wrote the first draft of the Declaration of Independence in a local tavern. Some scholars credit George Washington’s presidency in part to the fact he bought a round for the 69 electors (because nothing coerces an unanimous vote like a man who distills his own whisky up on Mt. Vernon). And then there’s the often-quoted yet inaccurate quip associated with Ben Franklin: “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” If our founding fathers endorsed the beverage, well, what’s more ‘Merican than that? Cheers.

Religious right wrong on civil liberties BRIAN SIEGEL Opinions columnist

arlier in his campaign Mitt Romney was posed with a tough question from a much different demographic — a gay Vietnam veteran. Gov. Romney sat down at the table with one of America’s finest heroes, an old Vietnam veteran. Romney was unaware that the vet was gay and when he asked Romney about marriage law, the governor defended his position in support of the Defense of Marriage Act. The veteran wanted his husband to receive the full benefits that a veteran’s wife would receive upon his death. All of his hard work fighting for the lives and freedom of the American people and yet he cannot give any of those benefits to his significant other of many years, though legally married in the state of New Hampshire, he is still unmarried in the eyes of federal law. Protecting the sanctity of marriage has become a hot button issue for conservatives, namely Republicans, since their friend across the aisle, President Bill Clinton, signed the Defense of Marriage Act into law in 1996. Restricting marriage rights of same-sex couples should not be a conservative value. In fact it flies in the face of everything that conservatism stands for. Conservatism is about restricting the scope of government, or at least it used to be. Republicans have stayed strong to their fiscally conservative values, maintaining each person’s right to the property they earn, they stayed behind their

pro-life stance, but they fall short when it comes to marriage. In this instance, the conservative party is hindering both the religious aspect in some states and the legal aspect. There are more states than not where same-sex couples cannot get married and are stuck with labels like “domestic partnerships.” According to the Human Rights Campaign there are 1,138 benefits, rights and protections provided for marital status in federal law. However, because same-sex couples when married are not considered spouses under federal law, they do not receive those benefits. For example, if a partner in a samesex marriage passes away, his or her family would not receive full social security benefits. Furthermore if that same partner or his or her family gets sick, federal law does not provide for the other to take medical leave to care for their partner or family. It is each person’s right to believe and practice whatever religion his or her heart desires. It could be Christianity or that a flying spaghetti monster created the universe. That is your right as an American citizen. However, it is not your right to impose that religious belief on federal law and that is what the religious right has been doing for too long. The Defense of Marriage Act is a disgusting piece of legislature that imposes the will of the beliefs on a portion of the United States and that is completely unconstitutional. Marriage is a religious ceremony and the federal government should be a separate entity from religion. It is our constitutional right to practice whatever religion we choose. At the time the

Over-borrowing biggest mistake in student loans HANNAH BOLLMAN CONTRIBUTING WRITER

The freedom of college often comes with students’ first exposure into the world of independent finance, such as student loans, bills and credit. One common financial situation college students deal with is student loans. According to Andrea Pellegrini, the assistant director of the Office of Business and Financial Services, many students feel conflicted about loans. “Student loans are a doubleedged sword, in that higher education is almost always needed to make money, but money is needed to obtain a degree. Students question if the debt will be worth the cost of the education in the long run,” she said. College students often wonder if they will be able to make enough to pay off their loans when considering borrowing money, Pellegrini said. She cites “over-borrowing” as a source of many students’ loan problems and has contributed to an all-time high of $1 trillion in student debt. She advises students to only take out money they absolutely need and to

Tuesday, October 16, 2012

have realistic expectations of their spending. To put the student debt increase into perspective, UIUC finance professor Kevin Waspi compared it to LeBron James’ salary. “Let’s say LeBron James makes $40 million per season. He would have to play 25,000 seasons at that salary to pay off the one trillion dollar student debt,” he said. “Student loans have become a necessary evil. If I were a student today, you better believe I would study my a** off to make the best of those student loans and not go into debt for years.” When asked how students can get the best financial value out of their education, Waspi said that since the cost of education is so high everything should be prioritized so money isn’t wasted. “If a Ford employee works a 40-hour week, in theory, a full-time student should study 40 hours per week,” he said. “That is where the true value of investment in education lies.” The high costs of college are inevitable for most students, but as Pellegrini points

out, this campus offers many options that students often do not take advantage of. Beside scholarships and part-time employment, there are various programs that cater to college students. The ARC’s financial wellness program located in the Wellness Center, for example, offers a number of services, presentations and one-on-one counseling to students in an attempt to educate them about fiscal responsibilities. The University’s TCF Bank center, housed in the Illini Union Bookstore, also offers several incentives, such as free checking accounts and withdrawal services to students who open up independent accounts, according to a TCF representative. “Because of the future’s unknowns, habits of thrift and saving set a good foundation for the rest of your life,” Waspi added. “Don’t get into investing this early, just concentrate on your studies and saving as much money as you can.”

Two Americans matched with Nobel Prize Economists use math to match husbands with wives, organs with donors BY KARL RITTER AND PAUL WISEMAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

STOCKHOLM — Two American scholars won the Nobel economics prize Monday for work on match-making — how to pair doctors with hospitals, students with schools, kidneys with transplant recipients and even men with women in marriage. Lloyd Shapley of UCLA and Alvin Roth, a Harvard University professor currently visiting at Stanford University, found ways to make markets work when traditional economic tools fail. Shapley, 89, came up with the formulas to match supply and demand in markets where prices don’t do the job; the 60-year-old Roth put Shapley’s math to work in the real world. Unlike some recent Nobel priz-

Roiter has stopped in on a Wednesday before to take advantage of the deal. “It can get really crowded, but you never know. There are always different amounts of people,” Roiter said.

FACEBOOK FROM PAGE 6A right after you die, which the law says they can inherit, how they get their hands on the actual embodiment of the work.” So even though a person can have copyright of certain material, they most likely won’t be able to actually acquire it themselves. Facebook collects this content and tucks it away in storage, in case it could ever come in handy in the future. Since the information is all digital, the issue becomes hazy. There is not a tangible object that can simply be handed over to an heir. “If you think about the way that we deal with people’s (physical) assets after they die, we have centuries of precedent of worked out rules for this,” said

es — such as the Peace Prize that went to the embattled European Union last week — this year’s economics award did not seem to send a political message. “It’s all about down-to-earth, highly useful stuff,” said Robert Aumann, a professor at Jerusalem’s Hebrew University who won the 2005 economics Nobel. “We’re talking about the nittygritty of health care and education — which medical students are assigned to which hospitals. We’re talking about how to arrange donors of kidneys.” Shapley made early theoretical inroads into the subject, using game theory to analyze different matching methods in the 1950s and ’60s. In a groundbreaking 1962 paper, Shapley and the late David Gale looked at how to match 10 men and 10 women in perfectly stable marriages. They created a model in which no two people liked anyone else better than each other.

While that may have had little impact on marriages and divorces, the elegant algorithm they developed has been used to better understand many different markets. Building on Shapley’s work, Roth applied it decades later to the market for allocating doctors, creating an algorithm that led to the redesign of the National Resident Matching Program that pairs fourth-year medical students with hospitals. “Before Roth, it was not unusual to not get any of your first three or four choices,” said David Warsh, who follows university economists in his Economic Principals blog. “After Roth hooked up this new algorithm, almost everyone got what they wanted.” The algorithm has also been used to match kidneys with patients who need transplants. Before Roth, “there were no economists in that business at all,” Warsh says. “He’s really changed it and saved a lot of lives.”

If customers want to eat at El Charro on a Wednesday that’s not as busy, Perez noted that student breaks are normally slower. However, Perez said business in the summer usually stays consistent because the restaurant has a loyal customer base. El Charro’s menu also includes vegetarian options, a perk for those who have restrictions in their diet. El Charro also has a large selection of beverages, such as Jarritos soda, which is a popular soft drink brand in Mexico. Brenda Sanchez has been a

resident of Champaign for about 15 years and is a new employee at El Charro, but she has been a customer for about a year. Sanchez said her favorite part of El Charro is how authentic the food tastes. She recommended trying El Charro’s tacos because they are delicious and easy to customize, she said. When you’re craving tacos that won’t break the bank, El Charro offers a solution with its authentic tacos at $1 each.

Derek Bambauer, associate professor of law at the University of Arizona. “We have rules about what happens if you have a will or if you don’t have a will, what happens if you have a family or if you don’t have a family, and so forth ... we haven’t done any of that work for the Internet yet.” Since there is no such historical model for posthumous social media regulation, it will take time for laws to be put in place. “There are states (that have) passed a law on this that ensures a right of access,” he said, those being Oklahoma and Idaho so far. “Well, (Mazzone) points out that having 50 different states try to address this problem might not be a good approach.” Instead, Mazzone proposes that there be an all-encompassing federal law that sets a baseline for what should be done with a social networking profile

after someone dies. Enacting such a law, however, could take years or even decades. Until then, Brophy recommended taking the issue into your own hands. He suggested leaving the “permission and means of access” to social media and networking sites to those you trust. This way, if something happens to you, you’ll have someone who can access your accounts in order to retrieve certain content, information and postings that you added during your lifetime. While there is no major federal law in place that addresses the issue of “Facebook Afterlives,” the subject matter will surely gain traction as more people continue to utilize social networks.

CONTRIBUTING WRITER

ocated on Green Street between Locust and First streets, you will fi nd a Mexican grocery store and restaurant that goes by the name of El Charro. To most who pass by, it appears to be just another place to grab a bite to eat or pick up supplies for an authentic Mexican meal, but really, it is much more. When entering the small, red brick building at 55 E. Green St., the Mexican decorations, such as the blankets and pictures on the walls, makes visitors feel as though they just stepped into a traditional shop somewhere far from Champaign. El Charro is small but packs a punch. It opened in 1996 as a grocery store and added the restaurant about seven years ago. Their menu, written in Spanish, includes a wide variety of classic Mexican cuisine, and most of it is made to order. They have many choices to offer, including Mexican sandwiches, huaraches, gorditas and burritos. Most fi nd one aspect of El Charro hard to resist: the Wednesday special of one taco with the customer’s choice of meat for $1.

Alejandro Perez has worked at El Charro for about five years. He said the $1 tacos special began about two years ago and has drawn crowds ever since. “You never know how crowded it will be on a Wednesday, but it’s usually constantly busy from about lunch to close,” Perez said. The special runs from open to close every Wednesday. El Charro’s hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays. The Wednesday $1 tacos include any ingredients the customer requests, with the exceptions of three toppings that include an extra fee. Adding avocado, sour cream or cheese costs 20 cents per taco. At El Charro, customers have the option to eat in or order their food to go. If interested in dine-in, there is a seating section with bright walls painted half red and half yellow, divided by a horizontal white chair rail. Customers can watch a TV mounted on the wall in this section. The eight tables in this

The ghost of your life still resides on Facebook after death BY REEMA ABI-AKAR STAFF WRITER

Facebook is an extensive, seemingly bottomless anthology of inside jokes, cherished memories and life events. But what happens to your Facebook account when you die? “There is little to no regulation that exists in this department,” said Jason Mazzone, law professor at the University. He is the author of “Facebook’s Afterlife,” a paper examining

the control of social media sites over the pages of their deceased users, and proposing a federal law that standardizes a set plan of action for this situation. “We’re in a period where technology has really gotten ahead of the laws that are in place,” Mazzone said. “I mean, 15 or 20 years ago, nobody had any reason to think about this issue.” Today, over one billion people around the world use social networking websites, accord-

ing to Comscore.com. Of these accounts, more than 30 million of them on Facebook are attributed to people who have died, also known as decedents, as stated in a Technorati.com article. The current way that Facebook deals with accounts belonging to dead people is by “memorializing” the page, as Mazzone stated in his paper. This involves disabling much of the late user’s past posted

content, but leaving the page open for friends to comment postmortem. “When you’ve got something like (Facebook) that is intangible and really is not ... any value other than sentimental value, the courts and legislatures don’t have a good way of resolving those kinds of issues,” said Alfred Brophy, law professor at the University of North Carolina. The main questions that arise

get

are: Who has the ownership or copyright to the decedent’s page and information? What happens to the photos, links, posts and other content within the account?

Volleyball’s Viliunas set to start Wednesday Setter earns Big Ten honors for debut BY ELIOT SILL STAFF WRITER

When Spike Squad and the rest of the Illinois volleyball faithful file into the Huff Hall bleachers Wednesday, there will be a glaring difference at what is debatably volleyball’s most critical position. True freshman setter Alexis Viliunas made her debut Saturday against Michigan State, and after dropping the first two sets, Illinois righted the ship for a crucial conference road victory. Head coach Kevin Hambly’s decision to play Viliunas over senior Annie Luhrsen was successful — for the time being. Viliunas will now have a chance to prove herself in front of the orange-clad crazies in Huff Hall, as she is slated to start Wednesday’s in-state showdown with conference foe Northwestern. Viliunas earned Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors for her performance, earning the next available start in the process. “She was poised. I thought she wasn’t connecting as well as we needed her to early, but then she settled in and really did a nice job,” Hambly said. “Mostly, she was just poised and played well and made plays.” Viliunas said playing with former high school teammate Jocelynn Birks helped her remain calm. “(Birks) helped me a lot last night because by her playing really well, it helped me to stay calm and not worry about the little things,” Viliunas said. “Like, my sets didn’t have to be perfect because I knew that she’d put the ball down anyway.”

McMahon on fire Birks led the team in kills Saturday, and has done so in nearly all of Illinois’ games this year. Across from Birks, though, Liz McMahon has shown fairly steady improve-

Defense uses bye week to regroup Highly touted unit doesn’t understand poor performance BY JAMAL COLLIER STAFF WRITER

Jonathan Brown has no words for why the Illinois defense is performing so poorly. When asked if he was surprised that the once proud defense has struggled so mightily this season, he paused and just shook his head in agreement, puzzled, to say the least, how a team that was seventh in the NCAA last season in total defense had 45 points effortlessly scored against them. Now, as Illinois enters its bye week, Brown said it’s time to hit the restart button. The first seven games of the season

can’t just be wiped away as if they never existed, but the scarred memories and psyches of the Illini must be cleared from what has been a dismal seven weeks of this season. Head coach Tim Beckman said his team is entering a crossroads. He wouldn’t say if this was the perfect time for a bye week, but a week off from game action couldn’t have come any sooner for Illinois. The Illini are looking to regroup physically and, maybe more importantly, mentally after a fourth straight shellacking and ninth consecutive conference loss dating back to last year. “What would you expect the locker room to be like after a game like this?” Brown said after Saturday’s 45-0 loss at Michigan. “Eighty guys come into the locker room, embarrassed. You can just imagine what that’s like.” Illinois is giving up the second-most points in the conference after allowing 45 to Arizona State, 52 to Louisiana Tech, 35 to

Penn State, 31 to Wisconsin and 45 against Michigan. The offense isn’t any better — dead last in scoring in the Big Ten. To say the Illini struggled Saturday is an understatement for a team that managed 134 yards of total offense and a meager 29 passing yards. Justin DuVernois’ punting was better last week, as he avoided shanking any punts. But the Illini’s special teams added another missed field goal attempt, and it’s 2.1 yards per punt return rank 117th out of 120 FBS teams. Nothing is going right for the Illini on all three sides of the ball. Even a players-only meeting before last week’s game against Wisconsin wasn’t enough to turn the Illini around. The bye week is a chance to stop the snowball effect from continuing to turn this current four-game losing streak into more, much like last season. “I challenged them in the locker room,” Beckman said. “I just said again, ‘Guys,

man plummeted 24 miles from a balloon Sunday afternoon and lived to tell the tale. Felix Baumgartner, a 43-year-old Australian skydiver, leapt 128,100 feet from the sky at 833.9 mph, where he set five world records: the first person to break the sound barrier, the highest freefall parachute jump, the highest vertical speed in freefall, the greatest freefall distance and the most concurrent views of a live stream on YouTube, with more than eight million people tuning in. This all happened in under 10 minutes. Now that’s impressive. Some people call this a publicity stunt (the jump was sponsored by Red Bull) and others call it an awe-inspiring tale. Me, I call it an athletic accomplishment, something that took bravery and talent. It took around 5 years to organize this jump, and Baumgartner had been training since 2009. “It was really brutal at times,” Baumgartner said in a press release after the jump. “I thought for a few seconds that I’d lose consciousness. I didn’t feel a sonic boom because I was so busy just trying to stabilize myself.” The competition was Baumgartner against the world, meaning the weather, the skies and atmospheric pressure. Most people wouldn’t call this an example of sport. I know for a fact my dad is going to give me a

We’ve got to step forward in this program, and we’ve got to try to make our football team better.” The bye week can also aid the Illini by giving their injured players a chance to heal. The Illini’s injury report reads like a who’s who in Illinois football. Quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase left Saturday’s game with a concussion, and starting cornerback Terry Hawthorne missed that game after suffering a head injury against Wisconsin. Linebacker Houston Bates has seen limited action since he was injured at Arizona State and is playing on “darn near one leg,” according to defensive coordinator Tim Banks. Other starters, including Graham Pocic, Supo Sanni, Steve Hull and Darius Millines, have also missed action during the season.

BALAZS GARDI THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Pilot Felix Baumgartner, of Austria, celebrates after successfully completing the final manned flight for Red Bull Stratos in Roswell, N.M., on Sunday. hard time for writing about this, but you can’t deny that this took athletic greatness. The groundbreaking event got me thinking about other obscure athletic accomplishments. I perused the Guinness World Records and picked out some of the most impressive and eccentric athletic endeavors.

Longest distance swam underwater in one breath Who doesn’t have these competitions in their youth? I’m pretty sure I’ve only been able to make it one-half of the pool’s length, but I’m not that talented. The record of two hundred meters set by Tom Sietas of Germany doesn’t seem all that impressive to me, and probably not McKayla Maroney either.

Fastest mile Hicham El Guerrouj, a Moroccan middle-distance runner, is the world record holder for the mile, with a time of 3 minutes, 43.13 seconds. Guinness keeps records for every type of mile imaginable, including the fastest fireman’s carry mile (15:11:87), fastest mile on a pogo stick while juggling three balls

(23:28), fastest one-mile sack race (16:41), fastest one-mile piggy back race (12:47) and the fastest mile hopping on one leg and jumping rope (34:01). I’m in shock that people kept going at those attempts for an entire mile.

Most star jumps in one minute Give me a minute before you think I’m completely making something up by talking about star jumps. It’s like a jumping jack instead you start crouched on the ground and extend your entire body in a star position. So now that we know what a star jump is, we can puzzle over how somebody was physically able to do 61 in one minute. That’s more than a full jumping jack every single second.

Most squats in one hour My first question is why would anyone do squats in the first place, let alone for an entire hour? Paddy Doyle from the United Kingdom did 4,708 squats in 60 minutes in 2007. I bet after that squatting marathon, he never squat again.

Longest distance walking over hot plates Now this is probably the biggest stretch for an athletic accomplishment, but the fact that somebody subjected themselves to the torture of walking over hot plates for 22.9 meters deserves a shout-out. I watched the video, though, and it didn’t seem nearly as intimidating as I imagined. He was barefoot, which must have been rough. That led me to realize how the majority of these stunts are built for publicity and not worthy of that much attention. There’s a fine line between real athletic competition and doing something simply for bragging rights. These seemingly athletic records test mental toughness more than anything else. I’m still giving Baumgartner props. I mean, he broke the sound barrier. That’s something I’m not sure any sky diver will have the nerve (or ability, or guts, or whatever you want to call it) to try.

Gosea said the team has not been living up to its expectations so far. “Team-wise, I feel like it’s been a bit below-par from what we were expecting,” Gosea said. “I feel like a lot of our guys can perform better and get better results. Obviously, we’ve got a young team, so I feel like we all need to grow up pretty fast.” Associate head coach Marcos Asse said he is excited with the work ethic that the freshmen have been displaying. The upperclassmen have also taken notice of their effort, he added, which has given them confidence in their younger teammates. Dancer said he is impressed with the amount of matches his guys have been getting in. He’s also been pleased with his doubles teams. “Our intensity and energy in our doubles has been better this fall than it was last spring, or for that regard, over the past few years,” Dancer said. “We’ve got to figure out how to solve problems and fi nd solutions when we’re out on the court,” he added. The Illini were not in competition last week, as they were preparing to head to East Lansing, Mich., this weekend for the USTA/ITA Midwest Regionals. “I’m 100 percent confident that this group of guys can do things that may surprise a lot of people if they continue with the daily routines they’ve put into place,” Asse said.

Bears offense working to hold NFC North division lead THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — While the Chicago Bears appreciate their place atop the NFC North standings, they know it’s not a view they’ll enjoy for long unless some big changes occur on offense. The Bears (4-1) had a bye over the weekend and took over the division lead because of Minnesota’s 38-26 loss to the Washington Redskins. “It’s not bad — without playing, that’s not bad,” tight end Kellen Davis said Monday. “You can’t beat that really.” Still, Detroit (2-3) and Green Bay (3-3) both won Sunday, keeping the Bears from getting too excited about their half-game lead over the Vikings (4-2) as they began preparations for next Monday night’s game against the Lions. The Bears play only their second divisional game of the season against the Lions, so the race obviously has a long way to go. “Our division took a step up,” coach Lovie Smith said. “But as I told the team today, none of that really matters for us. We like the position we’re in. Any week you have to be ready to go to play your best football. That’s what I saw from this weekend. Teams that played 60 minutes or

more end up winning the football game. Detroit, this week ... I’m sure they’ve been waiting for this game for a long time.” To stay where they are, the Bears offense has to come around both in the running game and passing game to complement a defense that has been dominant to date. The passing attack took a hit with the loss of wide receiver Alshon Jeffery, reportedly to a fractured hand. The rookie has 14 catches, but the Bears will get wide receiver Earl Bennett back from a two-game absence due to a hand injury. “Those guys (teammates) are out there making plays, just having fun,” Bennett said. “We’re winning and it’s tough to sit back and just watch and not be a part of the fun.” Even with Jeffery making 14 catches and wide receiver Brandon Marshall tied for ninth in the league with Detroit’s Calvin Johnson at 35 catches, the Bears passing game ranks only 23rd (222.6 yards per game). The running game had struggled until the Week 5 blowout win over Jacksonville, when running back Matt Forte went over the 100yard mark for the first time since Nov. 7, 2011.

Yankees’ manager attends father’s funeral in Ill. BY DAVID MERCER THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Pallbearers carry the casket of Jerry Girardi, the father of New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church on Monday in Peoria, Ill. Giradi died Oct. 6 at 81 after years of struggle with Alzheimer's.

PEORIA, Ill. — Jerry Girardi was memorialized Monday as a dedicated laborer who built the ranch-style Illinois home where he raised five highly successful children — two doctors, a math professor, an accountant and New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi. The Yankees manager, who attended the funeral service during an off day in the American League Championship Series, sat quietly alongside his family. None of the Girardis spoke, and they left the church quickly to attend the burial in Tampico, the tiny north-central Illinois town known as the birthplace of Ronald Reagan. Father Larry Zurek told the roughly 100 mourners at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in downtown Peoria that Jerry Girardi’s contribution went far beyond

Senior leaders like Sanni, Hawthorne and defensive end Michael Buchanan have the challenge of keeping their teammates buying into the thought

that Illinois could turn things around. “I think just stressing that we’re still playing for something,” Buchanan said. “We could win five games and still go to a nice bowl. “This is a huge time for us. We have a week off, so I think it’s really time to find ourselves and figure out what’s wrong with this team and figure out why we’re not playing with heart out there and try to get this thing fixed.”

Excluding Illinois’ 3-0 defeat against Michigan, McMahon has produced 75 kills in the past 20 sets, good for a 3.75 kps.

Jerry Girardi died Oct. 6 at a residential treatment center in nearby Metamora, Ill., at age 81. He had suffered from Alzheimer’s for years. The funeral came the day after Joe Girardi was ejected for arguing a controversial call during a loss to the Detroit Tigers that left the Yankees down 2-0 in the series. But, a lot like the images baseball fans are accustomed to seeing from the Yankee dugout, Girardi showed little emotion Monday. A few times, he dabbed at tears with a handkerchief.

We better learn how to do that really quickly because we certainly have a situation where we’ve got to play the way that we are capable of playing and getting the results that we are capable of getting.”

Quick turn around for senior weekend Illinois will only have a few days to recover after a weekend on the road before facing Northwestern at home Thursday night and Nebraska on Sunday for the team’s senior night. The Illini will have to balance making improvements physically on the fi eld with restrange of victory.

Illini cling to ranked status At 9-9 overall, Illinois has two more losses than any other top25 team. Additionally, Illinois lost to a nonranked opponent for the first time last week in Ann Arbor, Mich., when the Wolverines shut the Illini down 3-0. Illinois’ comeback on Saturday allowed them to stay in the rankings, however, as the No. 25 team in the nation.

For some Illini, it will be more than just another conference win to fight for. “This weekend is a little special, so we should have a little extra energy anyway,” Holden said. “A lot of the girls parents will be in town because it is senior weekend, so there will be a little extra energy on the field.” With the two conference losses over the weekend, Illinois barely sits at the top of the Big Ten bracket in fi fth . Though Northwestern and Nebraska are toward the bottom of the rankings, it is vital that the Illini clinch these victories. “Everyone should come out and watch,” Read said. “Illinois is going to have to fight to stay on top of the bracket and sometimes it’s a good thing to have something to fight for.”
